Tuesday...

It's been a while. Mostly because internet at my house is down (has been since Sunday)... But, the computer in my office works, so here I am trying to do work and play on the internet. :-P

I'm currenty making the schedules for my lessons that start tomorrow. I'll have 34 private students and then my 6/8 periods of band... so teaching at least 40 periods a cycle. I've been told that once I get the schedule set, to see if I can cut it down a bit because that is a lot (core teachers teach 30 periods). So, I'll see.

I'm getting ill a bit. I've been really tired, and I can feel the cold in my chest, so I've been trying to take it easy. Last night, however, I still went out to eat with Yisu and my neighbors.. it was a blast. I'm so glad I went.

I'll write more some other time. (maybe later today) for now I need to get this done.

Reminder to me: write about Mercy House. :-)

about 6 hours later: And it's later; the power is out in my block of school, so I can't finish my work, so here I am in the computer lab.

I'm going through something right now that I went through when I moved to NZ as well. where you feel lonely, but know you need to be with people so you go out, but you don't really want to, and then you just want to be alone again, and on and on...

and I've decided that it's because 1) I'm in India, 2) It's my first year teaching, 3) this is the craziest place to be a teacher, 4) I'm on top of a mountain, 5) I haven't talked to anyone from home in quite a while, 6) the whole "it's old news that she moved" syndrome, in which people decide that when I take time to e-mail them, that it doesnt matter, because obviously, when you move, you want to lose all contact with everyone you've ever known, and 7) I think I'm getting sick.

Fun enough for you? lol. That's my ranting for the day. or the month, or whatever you want to say.

Time to go, I think. I'll try to be uplifting another day. But hey, it's my journal. :-)
